Kolpingsfamilie Baden

About Kolpingsfamilie Baden

The Kolpingsfamilie Baden is a Catholic social association based in the Kolpinghaus at Valeriestraße 10 in Baden. The association belongs to the international Kolping organisation, which goes back to the priest Adolph Kolping, and offers people of all ages shared activities and voluntary social engagement. Its motto is „Gemeinschaft in Bewegung“ (community in motion).

The Kolpinghaus opened in 1897 and belongs to the association. According to the Kolpingsfamilie, around 400,000 euros were invested in the facade, roof and rooms in 2006 and 2007. Today there is an events hall, a cafeteria, a cellar bar and a cloakroom. You can enquire about using the hall for events.

The Psychosocial Centre of the Kolpingsfamilie also works in the building. Since 1987, on behalf of the state of Lower Austria, it has offered vocational and social rehabilitation for adults with or after a mental illness, with a day centre and a club.

Twice a year the hall becomes a book flea market. Books, records, CDs, DVDs and games are sold, and the proceeds go to the Psychosocial Centre and the upkeep of the building. You can drop off donations for the flea market at the Kolpinghaus all year round after registering by phone. The used clothing collection in the Kolping containers has been discontinued.

For viewings and hall enquiries, the management can be reached Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 on 02252 86117-200. The association's dates are in the calendar on kolpingbaden.at.
